I don't know where the face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

I think I will study "Dong Xie Xi Po" as a kind of scripture. This is not an exaggerated metaphor. It is a movie that is often turned out and seen, and every time you watch it, you can see something new. It is not a movie that repeats the feeling of laughing, crying, and then being satisfied. . Maybe it's because of my superficiality that I can't see it all at once, and maybe it's because of this superficiality that I've picked up the pen many times but dare not write "Evil in the East and Poison in the West".

The person I like the most in the movie has not changed after watching it for the second time - that is Hong Qi. In Hong Qi, I saw a kind of carefree and uninhibited that is unique to him. Hong Qi said that he was quick to shoot because he thought it was right. At that time, Hong Qi had already become a nine-fingered beggar. In the movie, everyone is intentionally or unintentionally making themselves more stressed, more affectionate, and more bloody. There was only Hong Qi alone, and he said with a simple and honest smile. You said it yourself. Who said that you can't take your wife to the arena.
Ouyang Feng called Hong Qi a young man from the very beginning. Only young people have such a free and easy heart. Swap one finger for one egg. No one wants to owe anyone, Hong Qi said, I just eat eggs for the sake of eggs. When I watched it before, I applauded. Fucking regrets, who said that when people get older they regret something they did when they were younger. Those people should think about whether they would feel that they didn't do anything they regretted when they were young and feel that they were mediocre?
Occasionally, when I mention evil things to others and ask about the characters I like. It seems that I haven't met a person who said that he likes Hong Qi. Liang Chaowei's down-and-out swordsman, and Brigitte Lin's Dugu Qiuwei should be the most liked. My own favorite before was also Lin Qingxia. But when I watched it later, I found that compared to the despairing loneliness that made people turbulent, I liked the carefree and free and easy style more.
They are all heroes, but I prefer a more unrestrained person. You think, people's lives are not long, and they cannot be used to grieve. Some people use grief and anger to achieve a lifetime of skill, leaving the world independent and invincible. Others, they live unrestrainedly, without fancy clothes, begging everywhere, greedy for food and drink, take lightly, let go, be sloppy without losing their bearing, and are naive and outgoing by nature.
And Hong Qi is the most special one. Every man will think of another person when they see Yang Cai Ni, but Hong Qi will not. Every man has something to do with Peach Blossom more or less, and neither does Hong Qi. Hong Qi can also take his wife to the rivers and lakes, and he can not wear shoes...

So what if I don't do it, what can I do if I am willing to be a wine and meat monk?

After watching it yesterday, it may be that Maggie Cheung's role has been added to make this person more three-dimensional. I feel that the most desperate person in the whole film is Maggie Cheung rather than Brigitte Lin. When I wrote this, I suddenly felt that I was denying the same affirmation of Dugu Qiucheng's collection for the first time after reading it for the first time.
It is sad for a person to not get it, because not getting it is like a lonely begging for defeat. It is also very sad for a person to get it, just like Maggie Cheung. It is sad that a person can get it, but gives up, it is still like Maggie Cheung.
Zhang Manyu leaned on the window table, holding the flowers and said: In my best time, the people I like the most are not by my side. It would be great if we could start over. Age is not there, youth is not there, old people are naturally pearly, and women can have a few years of youth. I don't know what she wants to bet on, maybe it's just a movie, you shouldn't go too deep into the movie to speculate about people who didn't exist in the first place, the past without the people of the past, this is a false obscenity. But seeing this, I still can't help but think about the flowers before the moon, playing the piano and playing songs, you and me, the desert in the Western Regions, the yellow sand, the golden poplar, the woman in red, with disheveled hair, singing to wine, the geometry of life...but But Peach Blossom only appeared in that special room idly, she walked and walked, there were tides, there were days and nights, she bet on something she couldn't bet on, and lost something she couldn't afford to lose.
Dongxie Xidu just said a series of words to himself, as if a person had deposited the words for decades, using a few words, but they burst out bit by bit.
A friend said that even with Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung occupied her heart without losing her character. Dugu seeks defeat, but did not get anyone's love, but Maggie Cheung captured a man's body and occupied another man's heart. She made the two people bond together and not just because they were brothers.
But in the end, she herself got nothing. Then he said that, it would be great if you could start all over again. Speaking of regret just now, this is Maggie Cheung's regret, but if there is no such regret, she may not know who she has given a fraction of her heart to. Because of this regret, I let myself love that person even more.
Once upon a time, everyone was blinded. Later, everyone went blind.
"Why don't you tell her I'm here." At first, she made a jar of drunken life and dreams, and told Dongxie that Ouyang Feng would forget her so that those who wanted to forget would remember her more clearly. She finally said this, in order to let the people who don't want to see meet again. In the end, she left nothing, and I said she was the most desperate person. Because she has everything, even the memories of others, but in the end there is nothing left, and nothing is left.
What's the use of her asking for so much?

The beautiful woman smiled and swept the country. Just for a beautiful smile, I would rather overwhelm the country.

In fact, in general, the only person who can make the world turbulent and I wake up alone is Xidu alone.

So turbid and I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am awake alone.

Before the final version came out, I told a friend that I must watch it when it comes out. Movies, after all, are watched in theaters, and they have more meaning in their own right. The theater I went to chose to show it in a very small hall, but this size seems to be more indicative of the audience rate of the movie. Thinking of the scene of watching "Hulu Baby" in the large hall on the upper and lower floors, the ultimate version is more like a small screening. Even so, there are not many people in the theater.
The ultimate version was actually downloaded and watched during the winter vacation, but unfortunately I didn't pass the fourth level. I didn't understand a few words in Cantonese. So I'm still looking forward to the Mandarin version. But after watching it, I had no choice but to drop a five-star movie down to four. Except for Brigitte Lin's original dubbing, other people's dubbing made me restless and itchy. Therefore, I still give five stars to the movie itself, and it is the unsatisfactory dubbing that gave it one star.
But after all, it will be quiet for a while. This happens almost every time I watch it, and I want to think about it slowly. It is also like now, no matter how negative it is, there is no affirmation, but there will always be new places to see.
It's like chatting with an old man. You see an old man say something that is not within your age range and accept it with an open mind. Maybe you can't understand it now, but I believe that one day you will understand it, just because you are still very young. Read it over and over again, and then appreciate the lines inside. Maybe those lines themselves don't have much meaning when Wong Kar-wai is thinking, but when they are piled up together, they will have a very chemical effect, making people think, watch, read, and never forget. I always remember that many years ago, I had seen Western Drugs, and I also knew why I became vicious, because I was always jealous.
Wong Kar-wai called the evil in the east and the poison in the west as the ashes of time. In the end, it can only be ashes. In the end, all of them were burned in the desert, and they eventually became a large piece of ashes.
In the age of turmoil, everyone can be said to be a kind of subsistence. To put it more simply, if you die or I die, you can only be forced to be stronger. But practice to madness, practice to perfection, practice to go crazy, and in the end, it still becomes ashes in a time. People live in despair, live brilliantly, live unruly, and in the end, they also become ashes in time.
Writing this, I myself don't know what I want to express. It is nothing more than a landscape that has passed away in the end. There are few pavilions to vent.

All is vanity, all is chasing the wind.

I always wanted to find a suitable person to be the line in this movie, but thinking about it, Xi Du is still the most suitable, although the line head of Xi Du is with Maggie Cheung. It's like a line that starts at 1 with a 0 in front of it, and then the numbers 2.3.4 in the opposite direction. But slowly thinking, slowly exploring, the people on this line are strung together.
And Yang Cai Ni is a special point, almost men will remind people of another person, she is like a mirror, reflecting the other world.
But in fact, what I want to say is to find a real launch point. I think it should be Peach Blossom, not Carina Lau, but Peach Blossom. Over and over again in peach blossoms. The ultimate version highlights the peach blossoms, adding several shots of peach blossoms.
If I guessed correctly, the tree that Lin Qingxia and other Huang Yaoshi used was also a peach tree.
Year after year, spring, summer, autumn, winter and spring. Peach blossoms still bloom every year. The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded, and don't wait for the flowers to be empty to break the branches.
Looking at the evil in the east and the poison in the west, the colors are gorgeous and dazzling, and the lens is gifted and cut, but I still like the old version.
Looking at the evil in the east and the poison in the west, the people are still those people, and the words are still those words, but every time there is a new feeling.
In fact, there are so many things, in the end, there is still a period of ashes left in the wind, which will not be recorded in time.

I don't know where the face is going, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

    Leslie Cheung's performance is not only natural and delicate, but also successfully interprets the alternative Ouyang Feng with multiple personalities.

Ashes of Time quotes

  • Blind Swordsman: Do you know the difference between drinking wine and drinking water? The more wine you drink, the warmer you'll get. Water will only make you feel cold.

  • Ou-yang Feng: The harder you try to forget something, the more it will stick in your memory. Once I heard someone say that if you have to lose something, the best way to keep it in your memory.
